Christmas By The Sea weekend in Ogunquit marks the return of Clay Hill Farm Presents... Dinner with Dickens: “A Christmas Carol - A New Musical Tale.” Local actor Kirk Simpson brings this one-man musical extravaganza to life with a brilliant theatrical adaptation of the timeless story and original heart-warming music/lyrics by Nancy Day.

Simpson, the star of Clay Hill Farm Presents…, has brought many beloved historical and fictional characters to life since the theatrical dining series debuted six years ago. This holiday season, Simpson will, once again, bring to life Charles Dickens and Ebenezer Scrooge, for a festive evening of musical, experiential theatre at Clay Hill Farm - a holiday tradition for the entire family that is not to be missed.

Composer, singer and lyricist, Nancy Day from Newburyport, Massachusetts, lent her many talents to Clay Hill Farm Presents…‘Dinner with Dickens: A New Musical Tale’, composing original music and lyrics for the family favorite, A Christmas Carol. With an incredible talent for storytelling, poetry, and music, Day has worked closely with Simpson to create a very special personal and intimate telling of this classic tale. Her imaginative musical score has audiences dancing in the aisles for the holiday season providing the musical backdrop for Simpson, as he weaves the tale of Merry Olde England with Ebenezer Scrooge and all the lovable Dickens characters in this family holiday classic.
